Your feedback
Good for you

Baklava is low in purines from its flour and nuts, and plant-based purines do not raise urate levels. An occasional small piece may be fine for well-controlled gout.

Bad for you

Its concentrated honey and syrup deliver high fructose, which spikes uric acid production. Frequent or large portions can significantly increase gout flare risk, especially without stable urate control.
